weight lifting, life in icons, and Mom

[escritoireazul]

Mom isn't doing so well. I don't really want to talk about it. Thank you all for your support.

I saw an icon of Dean in the hospital and it looks like he's on a ventilator. The text was "tired of fighting" and yeah. That hit goddamn hard.



Maybe I should stay away from icons for awhile.

Added five pounds to my bench weight and ten pounds each to inner and outer thighs. I'm still no where near what I used to lift in high school, especially on the bench, but I'm getting there.

Sorry to hear about your mom. (I know, let's not talk about it.)

Yay for the bench press! I'm up to 60 right now. Adding five pounds is very exciting :)

Thank you. She's doing better now, thankfully.

Is that 60 in addition to the bar? I'm in awe. I used to have a pretty good bench weight back in high school, but lost it all when I stopped lifting every day. It's been much more of a struggle to get it back than I had hoped.

I'm glad. Hang in there.

God no, that's 60 including the bar! Right now I'm up to 70 including the bar.

Well, still, you're getting buff. My goal right now is to hit 120 including the bar, which is what I did in high school. Eventually I'd like to hit 150, but right now that seems like an impossible dream, as I'm only at 80 with the bar.

Wow! I never got that high, even when I was lifting before. We'll see how long it takes me to get back up to snuff once I finish off this month of sloth in MN :)

Despite the potential for strength loss, a month of sloth sounds lovely. Have you been enjoying your time with your family?
